the third annual Short Fiction contest

Aspiring writers are invited to pen up to 2,000 words of original prose

Part 1: Open to All
Part 2: Open to Age Group 15 – 18 years

The first two Boathouse short fiction competitions generated a large and enthusiastic response. Entries came from writers in Thailand and as far away as Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The third competition will follow the same format as last year’s contest with an adult Part 1 open to all and Part 2 open to young school-age writers 15 to 18 years.

Both parts require original stories not previously published, containing three key words: Boathouse, Oasis and Regatta. Stories can be on any subject but must have a Thai theme or subject matter relating to Thailand. The number of words should be between 1,500 and 2,000 words for the adult and between 800 and 1,200 words for the student entries. Deadline for all entries is Monday 25 May. Details and conditions can also be found on www.boathousephuket.com .

Three outstanding entries in both categories will be chosen and winners are announced on 6 June 2009. The entries will be judged by Simon Brown. who has written ten books, including two collections of short stories.
